Slide 60 - Open question

Slide 63 - Slide

Slide 64 - Slide

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it triggers the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels

Calcium ions (Ca2+) diffuse into the cell and promote the fusion of vesicles (containing neurotransmitter) with the cell membrane

The neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal by exocytosis and cross the synaptic cleft

Neurotransmitters bind to specific receptors on the post-synaptic membrane and open voltage-gated ion channels

The opening of ion channels generates an electrical impulse in the post-synaptic neurone, propagating the pre-synaptic signal

The neurotransmitters released into the synapse are either recycled (by reuptake pumps) or degraded (by enzymatic activity).
